Rumor has it that the NBA's league-leading scorer Kobe Bryant, is to play the lead role in Ang Lee's upcoming sequel to Brokeback Mountain. Kobe's publicist, says that being a leading man was the next logical step for him. "Kobe's already conquered the NBA, he's conquered the music industry with the realease of his 2000 album 'Visions' -featuring the tracks "K.O.B.E". and "Thug Poet". So naturally, 'K' to the 'O' to the 'B' 'E' -A.K.A. the 'Thug Poet's next move is to take over Hollywood. K.O.B.E. has always been very comfortable in front of the camera and is looking to the future, beyond his NBA career, to possibly acting full time." Director Ang Lee was so impressed by the tapes sent in of some of his on-court performances, that he seemed to be the natural choice for the lead in BBM2. I think that K.O.B.E.'s portrayal of a tall, athletic, gay, black, cowboy, is a good PR move for him at this stage of his career and will help to offset some of the arrogant assholish motherfuckery behavior that has become his trademark in recent years.
